Topic: Baby kangaroo (Read 754 times)

This baby kangaroo was so appealing. I drew this with graphite pencils and charcoal for the background. I am learning from Nolan's "let's draw" course at present. That must have been at least a million flicks in this drawing! Nolan, can I do anything better? Anybody else with a comment is welcome.

Thank you so much Val, it's so wonderful to have your's and Mea's continuous support. I have revised this sweet little guy ( I have to give him a name yet). The first photo seems to have had a filter while taking the photo. This photo shows the real paper colour. Looks duller but looks a lot better in real.

He is standing out a bit better, I still think the values between him and the background are still a bit too close.

You could either lift out some of the graphite in the background to lighten it, or go much darker leaving the Joey light. Or vise versa. Or, don't you hate that, leave as is and he is well camouflaged!

Cheers, Val
